Re:RH factor by Anonymous on Tuesday, 17 May 2005 | Most likely you are the same blood type as your father unless your mother is negative also. The red hair is a distinct characteristic of RH negative. Here are some other traits you may have, An extra vertebra, lower than normal body Temperature, Lower than normal blood pressure, highter mental analytical abilities, higher negative ion shielding around the body, high sensitivity to EM and ELF fields, heyper vision and other senses. | [ Reply to This ]

So it could be that the Q-celtic ( http://www.ctv.es/USERS/ocalitro/ ) could be the original place where the original sea people brought barley to Orkney and subsequently joined with the P- Celtic people of Scandanavia.
The Q-celtic people from present day Asturia Portugal had the slight advantage with the knowledge of growing Barley to feed cows. The sun always sets, but in Asturia the people had a longer growing season for growing wheat and Barley. Growing Barley isn't easy, but in Asturia it would have been much easier and trading would have likely occurred.
Through time, the People of Orkney gradually brough wheat and Barley to Ireland. | [ Reply to This ] [ Reply to This ]

Re:RH factor by Anonymous on Sunday, 30 October 2005 | The Irish and Scots may be as closely related to the people of Spain and Portugal as the Celts of central Europe, it emerged today.
Historians have long believed the British Isles were swamped by a massive invasion of Iron Age Celts from central Europe around 500BC.
But geneticists at Dublin's Trinity College now claim the Irish and Scots have as much, if not more, in common with the people of north-western Spain.
Dr Daniel Bradley, genetics lecturer at Trinity College Dublin, said a new study into Celtic origins revealed close affinities with the people of Galicia
"It's well known that there are cultural relations between the areas but now this shows there is much more," Dr Bradley said.
"We think the links are much older than that of the Iron Age because it also shows affinities with the Basque region - which isn't a Celtic region."
"The links point towards other Celtic nations, in particular Scotland, but they also point to Spain," he added.
Historians believed the Celts, originally from the Alpine regions of central Europe invaded the Atlantic islands in a massive migration 2,500 years ago.
But using DNA samples from people living in Celtic nations and other parts of Europe geneticists at the university have drawn new parallels.
Dr Bradley said it was possible migrants moved from the Iberian peninsula to Ireland as far back as 6,000 years ago up until 3,000 years ago.
"I don't agree with the idea of a massive Iron Age invasion that took over the Atlantic islands. You can regard the ocean - rather than a barrier - as a communication route," Dr Bradley said.
It is believed archaeologists are also questioning the links between the Celts of eastern France and southern Germany and the people of the British Isles.
The study found people in areas traditionally known as Celtic, such as Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and Cornwall, had strong links with each other and people in Ireland have more in common with Scots than any other nation.
There are also close links between Scotland and Ireland dating back much further than the Plantations of the 1600s when many Scots moved to northern Ireland in search of fertile farming lands, the research showed.
However scientists could not shed any light on whether fair skin, red hair and fiery tempers truly are Celtic traits.
The study headed by Dr Bradley was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

I have an extra rib on every side of may rib cage. So I actually have two extra ribs. They are small, about half the length of the others, and what is most strange is that my rib cage is flexible, the bones are like made half from gelatine. A birth defect, I suppose, or reptilian to be able to swallow large pray!!! :)
I have black wavy hair and brown eyes, and the hair at my arm pits is ... guess.... red. Strange, is it?
I have an excellent hearing.
I have a phenomenal sense of smell. Among other things, when in the military service, I could sense the smell of doughnuts from about 1.4 miles away. We were new in the area, so nobody knew if there was a doughnut shop in the village ahead. So, they all laughed at me. But once we got in the village, there it was. I had the last laugh.
I love science and mathematics, in fact I am a software engineer.

Re:RH factor by Anonymous on Sunday, 12 June 2005 | People or webtechs can post all they want. I personally have never heard of rh- people possesing hypervision, however, I did read from sources at a library in public school that people with curly or wavy hair have ESP abilities in the fact that when thier hair turns curly or waves, they are by natural instinct able to tell climate changes such as warm or humid weather 2 - 4 days in advance.
Having an extra vertabrae asscociated rh- is beyond me. Although it might be possible to have an extra vertabrae associated with rh- blood, I never read or heard about it. What is clear to me is that rh- blood people possess recessive genes as far as blood is concerned.
While O positive, B positive, ABO, A positive or A negative possess dominant phenotype genes as far as blood type is concerned, when it comes to darker hair, darker eyes, pigmented skin, the rhesus negative people are predominant.

We are not Celts at all but Galicians

CELTIC nations such as Scotland and Ireland have more in common with the Portuguese and Spanish than with the Celts of central Europe, according to a new academic report. Historians have long believed that the British Isles were swamped by a massive invasion of Iron Age Celts from central Europe around 500BC.

Stephen Oppenheimer, professor of clinical socio-medical sciences at Oxford, said that the Celts of western Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Cornwall were descended from an ancient people living on the Atlantic coast when Britain was still attached to mainland Europe, while the English were more closely related to the Germanic peoples of the interior. He said : "The English are the odd ones out because they are the ones more linked to continental Europe. The Scots, the Irish, the Welsh and the Cornish are all very similar in their genetic pattern to the Basque." The study headed by Dr Bradley was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

Re:RH factor by Anonymous on Tuesday, 13 November 2007 | If both of your parents had a recessive Rh neg gene, you could very well have Rh negative blood. It is the same with your hair and eye color. There is much more to genetics than the genes that are expressed. There are always the recessive genes that you never really know about, but exist just the same and can be inherited by offspring. Some genes can also peak through even though they are somewhat recessive. An example would be hazel eyes. | [ Reply to This ]
Re:RH factor by Anonymous on Wednesday, 24 August 2011 | If one parent has Ao (positive) and the other parent has Bo (positive) and you inherit a o (negative) from each parent then o - blood type is possible. Study Mendelian inheritance on Wikipedia for the details.
AA=A positive
Aa=A positive
aa=a negative
AO=A positive
Ao=A positive
ao=a negative
BB=B positive
Bb=B positive
bb=b negative
BO=B positive
Bo=B positive
bo=b negative
If you inherited one small o (negative)from each then you would be oo = type o with negative Rh factor.

Rh- from Galicia Spain? by Anonymous on Friday, 04 August 2006 | Atlantis "Evidence" Found in Spain and Ireland
Once a domain of the sea god Poseidon, Atlantis may have been named after Atlas the Titan, said to have been Poseidon's son. According to Plato, the city's kings conquered parts of both Europe and Africa before being defeated by Athens.
The gods, angered by Atlantis's greed and corruption, unleashed a barrage of floods and earthquakes on the fabled kingdom, sinking it into the sea in a single day. (Athens was destroyed by natural disaster at the same time.)

* New Underwater Finds Raise Questions About Flood Myths
The bulk of Plato's account is clearly fictional. The war between Athens and Atlantis takes place more than 11,000 years ago, at a time when the civilization he describes could not possibly have existed—nor could his victorious Athens.
But Plato's use of vivid details has led scholars to speculate that his fabled island was based on a real place. Some believe Atlantis is Spartel Island, a mud shoal in the Strait of Gibraltar that sank into the sea 11,500 years ago.
But Kühne says Spartel Island is too small—Plato wrote that Atlantis was bigger than Libya and Asia put together—and could not have possessed the high culture described by Plato.
Instead, Kühne points to satellite photos of a salt marsh region called Marisma de Hinojos, near the city of Cádiz in Spain, as the possible location of Atlantis. The photos, Kühne says, show two rectangular structures in the mud and part of concentric rings that may once have surrounded them.
"These rectangular structures could be the remains of the temples described by Plato," Kühne said in a telephone interview from his home in Braunschweig, Germany.
While transmitting the Atlantis story, the Greeks may have confused the Egyptian word for "coastline" with one meaning "island," Kühne speculates. The "plain" described by Plato could be a plain that extends today from the Spanish southern coast to the city of Seville, he said.
"I cannot say with certainty that Atlantis was located [in southern Spain]," Kühne said. "But these photos suggest that we should take a closer look at this location."
The Fairy Land
Erlingsson, meanwhile, says Atlantis is a literary construction by Plato. "Its existence has not been proven," he said in a telephone interview from Ireland, where he was doing research. "We know it was a utopia."
But Erlingsson is convinced that Plato based the geographical description of his fabled kingdom on a real place and argues that even the empire might be historic. He claims he has calculated with "99.98 percent probability" that the island Atlantis was modeled on Ireland.
"It is the only island in the world that matches the criteria of the island described by Plato," Erlingsson said.
The island that sank was not Ireland, he suggested, but nearby Dogger Bank, which was struck by a flood wave in 6,100 B.C.
The geographer says Ireland's megalithic monuments, dating back to 3,000 B.C., can be associated with the palaces and temples described by Plato. The megalithic culture of Western Europe and Northern Africa was more advanced than other Stone Age cultures, and Ireland is one of its core regions, he noted.
"The hill in which the Atlanteans' maternal ancestor, Cleito, was born resembles Tara, the legendary seat of the high king of Ireland, while Newgrange resembles the palace of their paternal ancestor, Poseidon," he said.
Erlingsson says he started his studies believing that Atlantis never existed. But he is now convinced that Plato knew of Ireland.
"He obviously blended fantasy and fact. But the question is not whether he made something up. It's if he made everything up—or if he based it on some real data," Erlingsson said.
"With very high probability the answer is that he based it on actual geographic information," the geographer said. "Ireland comes out as the only logical location for the central island of the Atlantean empire in Plato's tale."

Murdered "Bog Men" Found With Hair Gel, Manicured Nails

"That was a shock to us," Mulhall said. "He's probably the tallest bog body known from Europe."
Had the two bog men met, Oldcroghan man would have towered over Clonycavan man, who measured just 5 feet, 2 inches (157 centimeters) tall.
Perhaps to compensate for his short stature, Clonycavan man coiffed up his hair using an early hair gel.
"Naturally enough, he wanted to make himself look grander," Mulhall said. "It's a bit like someone wearing platform shoes."
Analysis of the substance by archaeologist Stephen Buckley from the University of York in England showed the gel was made of vegetable plant oil mixed with resin from pine trees found in Spain and southwest France.
The study team says the hair product is evidence of Iron Age trade across Western Europe.
While both bog men appeared to be aristocratic dandies of their day, they still met horrible deaths.
Oldcroghan man shows signs of cruel torture before he was beheaded.
"He was stabbed, his nipples were sliced, and he had holes cut in his upper arms through which a rope was threaded in order to restrain him," Mulhall said. He was also cut in half across the torso.
Meanwhile, Clonycavan man suffered three axe blows to the head, plus one to his chest and was also disemboweled.
"There was definitely an attempt to use several different methods to traumatize and torture the men," Mulhall added.
Grisly Finds
Similar evidence of grisly murders has been seen in other bog bodies found in Britain, Denmark, Germany, and the Netherlands.
For instance, Lindow man, displayed at London's British Museum, was struck twice on the head, garroted, and had his throat slit from ear to ear.
Various explanations have put forward for such bogland killings. These include punishment for breaking ancient codes of honor.
In the case of the two Irish bog men, the study team says they were probably used as sacrifices to pagan gods.
Ned Kelly, keeper of Irish antiquities at the National Museum of Ireland, suggests the bodies were offered to fertility gods by kings to ensure a successful reign. The victims were possibly political hostages.
Kelly says the bodies were placed on the borders of tribal boundaries "to ensure a good yield of corn and milk throughout the reign of the king."
More than 35 scientists worked on the Bog Bodies Project, which also revealed that Oldcroghan man's last meal consisted of buttermilk and cereals.
"We got a good overall account of these people both during their lives and at their deaths," Mulhall said.
The bog bodies will go on display at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin in May this year.
Details of the finds are outlined in a television documentary to air on the BBC in Britain this Friday.

Re: Red hair is reccessive and linked to O positive or A posittive blood type. by Anonymous on Sunday, 13 November 2005 | Sorry but you are factually wrong and biased towards imagining Ireland is the root of any branch of the family of North European peoples. Ireland is actually similar to the genetic make-up of Southern Wales (not Northern Wales) and hints towards the aboriginal people who were found in Britain - prior to the arrival of the Celts and later peoples. Red hair is an Indo-European characteristic which is also found in Southern Russia and Iran (Persia). The Scots who have also inherited genetic feature claim descent from the Sycthians who were located in today's Southern Russia. No surprise really since they are racially similar and their history records their movement over 7-10,000 years from as far as the Indus. It is stated for instance in 'Scottish Declaration of Arborath (which gathered a lot of the written and oral history to make their claim for nationhood) that they were in Scythia when the Jews were in Egypt. This is a useful historical point in time to show the movements of some Indo-European tribes.
Contrary to your belief that red hair is recessive - it is not. This is the gene which Celts brought that westward. When two parents carry this gene there is a very strong chance that their child will have red hair - since it is dominant. It is interesting also to note that in Scotland you will find the blood group of red haired people to be typically A+. Worth also to consider that there is a strong Viking (Danish) input to their gene pool. | [ Reply to This ]

Re: negative blood type in Asia by Anonymous on Friday, 21 October 2005 | It is possible to have negative blood even if both parents have positive blood. If both parents have +- blood type, it is possible to have a child with negative blood. I have A- blood and my parents have A+- and O+-blood. I'm sure it's not common, but it does happen.

The Irish and Scots may be as closely related to the people of Spain and Portugal as the Celts of central Europe, it emerged today.
Historians have long believed the British Isles were swamped by a massive invasion of Iron Age Celts from central Europe around 500BC.
But geneticists at Dublin's Trinity College now claim the Irish and Scots have as much, if not more, in common with the people of north-western Spain.
Dr Daniel Bradley, genetics lecturer at Trinity College Dublin, said a new study into Celtic origins revealed close affinities with the people of Galicia
"It's well known that there are cultural relations between the areas but now this shows there is much more," Dr Bradley said.
"We think the links are much older than that of the Iron Age because it also shows affinities with the Basque region - which isn't a Celtic region."
"The links point towards other Celtic nations, in particular Scotland, but they also point to Spain," he added.
Historians believed the Celts, originally from the Alpine regions of central Europe invaded the Atlantic islands in a massive migration 2,500 years ago.
But using DNA samples from people living in Celtic nations and other parts of Europe geneticists at the university have drawn new parallels.
Dr Bradley said it was possible migrants moved from the Iberian peninsula to Ireland as far back as 6,000 years ago up until 3,000 years ago.
"I don't agree with the idea of a massive Iron Age invasion that took over the Atlantic islands. You can regard the ocean - rather than a barrier - as a communication route," Dr Bradley said.
It is believed archaeologists are also questioning the links between the Celts of eastern France and southern Germany and the people of the British Isles.
The study found people in areas traditionally known as Celtic, such as Ireland, Wales, Scotland, Brittany and Cornwall, had strong links with each other and people in Ireland have more in common with Scots than any other nation.
There are also close links between Scotland and Ireland dating back much further than the Plantations of the 1600s when many Scots moved to northern Ireland in search of fertile farming lands, the research showed.
However scientists could not shed any light on whether fair skin, red hair and fiery tempers truly are Celtic traits.
The study headed by Dr Bradley was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

He said : "The English are the odd ones out because they are the ones more linked to continental Europe. The Scots, the Irish, the Welsh and the Cornish are all very similar in their genetic pattern to the Basque." The study headed by Dr Bradley was published in the American Journal of Human Genetics.

Re: negative blood type in Asia by Anonymous on Tuesday, 15 November 2005 | The original inhabitants of Ireland and Scotland came from northwest Russia and probably had red hair.
After the ice age Scotland and Ireland were relatively cold as the Ice sheet in central western Scandinavia was still quite extensive and had a very strong influence on the Northern and Western British Climate. Southern and Central England were still strongly influenced by the continental climate you must realise that immediately after the ice age England was still connected to Europe. Scotland was still connected to Scandinavia via a land bridge across the northern North Sea for a long period after the Ice sheet had melted over southern Scandinavia and Scotland.
Scotland and Ireland, in contrast to warmer England, were largely covered in taiga vegetation because of the relative cold just like Scandinavia and were therefore colonised from Russia via Scandinavia by peoples with red hair that were culturally good at coping with taiga environments. England with largely deciduous vegetation was colonised from Belgium and France by tribes good at coping with these familiar environments. This is not just a theory I made up! Every archaeological study, that has stood the test of time, has shown that the first inhabitants of Scotland and Ireland were hunter-gatherers who came from Scandinavia and North West Russia.
As for a connection with Portugal and Spain, this is a ridiculous theory; there is no evidence at all of this! Some people stupidly point to a supposed similarity in the megalithic Mesolithic cultures of Iberia and the British Isles as proof of a theoretical connection between the first peoples of western Iberia and the British Isle. There is hardly any similarity. The first evidence of a Mesolithic/megalithic culture developing in Iberia is not in Portugal on the west coast of Iberia but in the East, North East Spain near Barcelona!
The megalithic did not reach Portugal for nearly a thousand years after it reached Britain, so you are pretty dumb if believe in a cultural connection with Iberia are you not?
Megalithic sites across Ireland are very typical of those found on the Danube and the Rhine why you need to look for some Atlantic origin is beyond me! The carvings inside every Neolithic tomb in Scotland and Ireland are almost identical to those found in Germany, Hungary, Serbia and other countries on the Rhine and Danube.
The Iberian Neolithic and later cultures do share some similarities with the British Neolithic cultures only so much as they are European and share a common origin, a common ancestor, in that most famous Neolithic culture ‘Sesklo’. The ‘Sesklo’ culture based on Europe’s oldest town, established way back in 6300bc, that’s eight and a half thousand years ago, spread north establishing an outpost in ‘Vinca’ near present day Belgrade and from there spread up the Danube and Rhine to Britain. The ‘Sesklo’ culture also spread west along the northern Mediterranean basin eventually to reach Spain via Italy.
The only reason for parts of Spain being called ‘Galicia’ is because the Romans borrowed the Macedonian term ‘Keltoi’ and applied in much the same way as the Macedonians did. i.e. To any people they employed as mercenaries in their armies who happened to have come from beyond the empire. There is no letter ‘K’ in Latin so the Romans commonly substituted the ‘K’ with ‘C’ or ‘G’ instead. There is no letter ‘K’ in modern day Italian either rather coincidently.
If you haven’t got Red hair you probably are not descended from the original Irish or Scottish population but from Neolithic farmers from Turkey. By the way, there is an area of Western Turkey called Celticia, but who cares, if you have not got Red hair you are just a Dubh Gall or Fion Gall not Irish or Scottish at all, you are just clutching at straws looking for a connection to the countries your greedy ancestors colonised!

Re: negative blood type in Asia by Anonymous on Friday, 14 April 2006 | your comments fail to mention irish and scottish people with blonde hair. And what of black haired irish and scottish people with blue or green eyes?
In reality, red haired people in both Ireland and Scotland are a tiny minority and the trait is simply the result of a recessive gene- not a sign of racial purity. In fact, as anyone with a passing knowlege of biology knows, hybrids are the strongest and most intelligence members of any species.
It's a basic scientific fact that contradicts all the crackpot racial purity theories ever devised- yours included. | [ Reply to This ]

Re: negative blood type in Asia by Anonymous on Sunday, 20 November 2005 | The battle-axe culture of Scotland and Ireland came fromb Galicia, Orkney 3200 b.c and settled on Orkney, graudualy spreading or forced the sem-indo Europeans speaking gaels from P-Celitic gaelic to Q-Celtic. They spread from the outer and inner Hebrides eventually imposing the Q-Celtic on the majority of the so-called finians who are aborginal mesolithic people of Sweden and Shetland.
The Orkneys mesolithic population was wiped out by the Odysseus tribe with them being Egyption by biological race.
Some have said the these Egyptions originally set up a site on Orkney to look for metals similar to how the phoenicans were looking for tin and Bronze.
The Odysseus tribe
The Odysseus tribe also took people from Galicia to dig up burial and large standing stones. The People of Galicia had a higher standing status and later forced the Finians(white and blonde hared people to dig up to find flint and quite possiblly copper in Ireland. This copper was to have some significance in Ireland with bronze age pipes and other numerical instumrents.

Re: negative blood type in Asia by Anonymous on Monday, 21 November 2005 | Language study backs theory farmers spread Celtic. You can spread celtic by chopping down trees with primitive tools or you can spread Celtic like the Galicians did by boat.
ttp://www.hindustantimes.com/news/181_295892,00040001.htm
A new method of analysing language supports the idea that farmers carried Celtic into the British Isles, Ireland and France in a single wave 6,000 years ago, researchers said on Monday.
This runs counter to some linguistic theories that Celtic, one of the Indo-European languages, arrived in two separate events.
Geneticist Peter Forster of the University of Cambridge in Britain used techniques usually reserved for DNA analysis for his study, published this week in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
"It is a major debate among geneticists whether Europeans are descended mainly from Indo-European speakers who came in possibly with farming, or whether most of our genes have been here much longer -- with the early hunter-gatherers who arrived 30,000 to 40,000 years ago," Forster said.
Experts have dated the migration of peoples and even the origin of humans using a technique called mutational analysis. The idea is there is a "genetic clock" -- that random mutations or changes in DNA average out to a steady rate.
This technique has, for instance, dated human origins to a theoretical single African female who would have lived 180,000 years ago.
Forster applied this technique to language -- specifically to the Celtic languages, spoken widely before the Roman empire imposed Latin 2,000 years ago. Celtic languages survive in parts of Ireland, Britain, France and Wales.
"We look at it like we do at DNA -- as a string of information," Forster said. "Like, Americans say 'fall' instead of 'autumn'. I am not interested in why it came about. It is like a mutation in DNA."
Forster and colleague Alfred Toth of the Junge Akademie in Berlin looked at several rare and "dead" languages, including Gaulish, once spoken in France.
It is clear how the Romans imposed their Latin language on Europe. But how did the Celts do it millennia earlier?
"To impose a language on the majority, one would have to have some kind of elite knowledge," Forster said. One leading theory is that this elite knowledge was agriculture, while an opposing theory suggests it was the ability to tame and ride horses.
Other evidence suggests farming arrived in Britain around 4000 BC so Forster believes his findings support the farming theory.

Neolithic and Bronze Ages
The Neolithic and Bronze ages 2000 - 800 BC
The Beaker people buried their dead with grave goods
Continuous settlement of Wales by human beings began with the end of the last Ice Age in about 10,000 BC. The melting of the ice cap caused sea levels to rise. Britain became an island and by c.8000 BC Wales had attained roughly the shape it has today. As the temperature rose, the country became covered by a thick canopy of trees, the environment of the sparse Mesolithic or Middle Stone Age communities which inhabited Wales in the millennia following the retreat of the ice.
Until the 1960s, it was believed that Mesolithic society, based on hunting and gathering, lasted in Wales until about 2000 BC, when it gave way to Neolithic or New Stone Age society, based on farming. However, the Carbon 14 dating method has shown that the country had farming communities as early as 4000 BC. The most striking monuments of the Neolithic era are the stone chambered tombs (cromlechi), such as Barclodiad y Gawres in Anglesey. They are proof that Neolithic Wales had a fairly populous society with a considerable degree of organisation. The distribution of the tombs suggests close contacts along the western sea routes with Ireland, Brittany and Spain.

Re:wikipedia of the early history of Ireland including the Galicians by Anonymous on Saturday, 20 May 2006 | The Mesolithic (8000 BC - 4500 BC)
What little is known of pre-Christian Ireland comes from a few references in Roman writings, Irish poetry and myth, and archaeology. During the Pleistocene ice age, Ireland was extensively glaciated. Ice sheets more than 300 metres thick scoured the landscape, pulverizing rock and bone, and eradicating all evidence of early human settlements. Something similar happened in Britain, where human remains predating the last glaciation have been uncovered only in the extreme south of the country, which largely escaped the advancing ice sheets. During the Last Glacial Maximum (circa 16,000 BC), Ireland was an arctic wasteland, or tundra. The Midland General Glaciation covered about two thirds of the country with a drifting sheet of ice. It is highly unlikely that there were any humans in the country at this time, though the possibility cannot be discounted entirely.
The earliest evidence of human occupation after the retreat of the ice has been dated to between 8000 and 7000 BC. Settlements of Mesolithic hunter-gatherers have been found at about half a dozen sites scattered throughout the country: Mount Sandel in County Derry; Woodpark in County Sligo; the Shannon estuary; Lough Boora in County Offaly; the Curran in County Antrim; and a number of locations in Munster. It is thought that these settlers first colonised the northeast of the country from Scotland. Although sea levels were still lower than they are today, Ireland was probably already an island by the time the first settlers arrived by boat. There is nothing surprising in this, though, for most of the Mesolithic sites in Ireland are coastal settlements. Clearly, the earliest inhabitants of this country were seafarers who depended for much of their livelihood upon the sea. In some ways this economy was forced upon them, for many centuries were to pass before the treeless permafrost was transformed into a densely forested fertile land.
The hunter-gatherers of the Mesolithic era lived on a diet of seafood, birds, wild boar, deer and hazelnuts. They hunted with spears, arrows and harpoons tipped with small flint blades called microliths, while supplementing their diet with gathered nuts, fruit and berries. They lived in seasonal shelters, which they constructed by stretching animal skins over simple wooden frames. They had outdoor hearths for cooking their food, and they are known to have built canoes from dug-out tree trunks.
During the Mesolithic the population of Ireland was probably never more than a few thousand.
[edit]
The Neolithic (4500 BC - 2500 BC)
The Neolithic saw the introduction of farming and pottery, and the use of more advanced stone implements. It was once thought that these innovations were introduced by a new wave of settlers, but there is no compelling evidence for a large-scale invasion at this point in Irish history. It is much more likely that the Neolithic revolution was a long and slow process resulting from trade and overseas contacts with agricultural communities in Britain and on the continent.
Agriculture began around 4500 BC. Sheep, goats, cattle and cereals were imported from Britain and the continent, and the population rose significantly. At the Céide Fields in County Mayo, an extensive Neolithic field system - arguably the oldest in the world - has been preserved beneath a blanket of peat. Consisting of small fields separated from one another by dry-stone walls, the Céide Fields were farmed for several centuries between 3500 and 3000 BC. Wheat and barley were the principal crops cultivated.
Pottery made its appearance around the same time as agriculture. Ware similar to that found in northern Britain has been excavated in Ulster (Lyle's Hill pottery) and in Limerick. Typical of this ware are wide-mouthed, round-bottomed bowls.
But the most striking characteristic of the Neolithic in Ireland was the sudden appearance and dramatic proliferation of megalithic monu
